About the Agency
Colchester residential services society is a publicly funded nonprofit organization established in 1979.
Our mandate is to provide meaningful community participation and opportunities for children and adults with a developmental disability, physical disability or who require mental health supports. Services are currently being offered in Colchester and Cumberland and East Hants Counties.
Our service delivery model focus is to provide opportunities for people supported to live as fully independent as their ability permits within the community they choose.
Our Mission Statement
People with developmental disabilities have the right to pursue goals related to where and how they live, work, learn and play.
CRSS is committed to assisting people it supports pursue their life goals.
The focus for all aspects of the agency’s operations is the development of skills requisite both to a quality of life at home and meaningful community access and participation.
It is the responsibility of CRSS to ensure those opportunities are positive experiences for each person and their community. The development of services for people supported by CRSS is guided by the standards set out in its “Service Principles” and “Value Statement”. CRSS will be guided and held accountable to the principles and beliefs in the decisions and actions of staff, volunteers and the Board. We believe and practice the values of philosophy of the NSRAA training program – RICK (Rights Integrity Caring and Knowledge).
We opened our first home McCully House in 1979. Since then, we have grown for supporting 9 individuals to providing supports to over 80 individuals with varying levels of support through Residential Program, Independent Living Supports Program, the Truro Inclusion Program our Youth Day Program.
